Yoga†Devotion
2018-04-16 18:30 - 19:30 | Good Shepherd Education Hall
Class Structure
This is a Multi-Level class that is equally enjoyed by both newcomers and returning class members. Yogadevo†ion combines the physical exercise practice of Yoga with a devotional experience. Josie Trobec will be returning as our instructor. Everyone is welcome! Bring your friends!
Yogadevotion LLC classes begin in the breath, centering ourselves in the Presence of God….setting aside all that distracts us from the relationship God intents for us. Our devotional time is at the beginning of the class, opening with scripture that speaks to a practice of faith, during the breath work. Reflections on the scripture are written by Pastor Cindy Senarighi, ordained pastor in the ELCA. The body of the class is a combination of standing poses, balance poses and floor poses. We use music in our classes as well as silence to intentionally listen for God’s voice. The classes close with restorative yoga, a practice of calm alertness that allows a time of reflection and thanksgiving for God’s Presence in our lives. The faith based language you will hear in class is familiar, the benediction, invocation and prayer that closes the class. This class is for all levels as Yogadevotion LLC teaches that the primary teacher is your own body and that voice is the important one. Modifications are offered for all poses.
What to Wear – What to Bring
We encourage participants to bring water and wear comfortable fitting, layered clothes. A yoga mat is recommended.
Notes: Missed classes can be made up at other Yoga Devotion class. No refunds for missed classes.
